𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 on @Romance @YARomance @ContLit profile @TeenFiction 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒 Coming of age, winter romance, workplace, first love 𝐖𝐎𝐍 Contemporary Lit Romantics Award They had exchanged lingering glances, but nothing transpired until one night over a long shift at work, an innocent glass of water, and a dead car battery. Jim Garrett is reserved, kind, and harboring a bit of trauma from the year prior. Caroline Crabtree is fun-loving and the kind of girl you notice in the hallway. Caroline sparkles as she floats through a room on an imaginary breeze, holding Jim's heart on a string wherever she goes. Jim is wholly and irrevocably in love with her. He just has to talk to her first to make sure. This short story prequel to the Second Chance Series is the journey of how Jim and Caroline fell in love: late night phone calls, holiday traditions, and ditching class to kiss in the custodial closet.
